Baron and Dutchess are in need of new foster either together or
separately asap due to an emergency in their foster home..
05/15/06 -Barron (and
Dutchess)
Barron and Dutchess
arrived from their long drive up to their foster home in NY and settled in
quite well. They went for a long walk at the local park. They were very well
behaved on leash and did not pull despite the new surroundings. Their new
foster home is a horse farm, and we are happy to report that after being a
little leery of all the horses they became pretty comfortable and show no
fear of these "big dogs".
Barron has gained weight and is acting like a young dog. He runs and
plays with his stuffed animal skunk. Dutchess craves human interaction and
is the first to come sit at your side. She would rather spend time with
people than playing with toys. Both dogs have been doing very well with the
trainer that has been coming to work with them. They have been learning
commands and "heel", and are progressing nicely. They would both benefit
from a home that can continue to practice their new tricks with them.
We no longer feel that these two dogs need to be placed as a pair.
Barron's ideal home will have a female dog to play with, a fenced yard for
his newfound energy, and lots of stuffed toys! Dutchess would do best as an
only dog in a home where the humans are around a lot and can lavish her with
the affection she craves. These beautiful seniors have a great new lease on
life and are making the most of it every day!!

These two poor souls were surrendered by the only owner they have ever known
to a high kill shelter because the were "too old". Yes, they are senior
dogs but they both have so much life. When the shelter staff brought them
out from separate parts of the building for our volunteer to pick up they
saw each other for the first time in days and they were all wiggles and
kisses to each other. It was as if they were saying "I thought I'd never
see you again". They were so happy to see each other it touched our
volunteer like never before. We would like for them to be adopted together
but realize this may not happen. We will try to find a home that will take
both of them and let them live out their years in happiness. If we have to,
they will be separated and placed in homes with another dog. All they need
is love now. They have been brought up to date on shots and have been
spayed and neutered. Please consider giving these two beautiful seniors the
home they deserve. You and I will be "too old" someday and so will the
people who dumped these two sweethearts a the shelter. May they remember
what they did to their family pets when they are "too old" themselves.
